Lessee of the 2nd additional space, or (b) October 1, 1999, (the "Effective
Date"). The new total rentable square feet shall be approximately 24,958
rentable square feet. The revised Premises shall consist of the entire ground
floor of the building located at 4040) Xxxxxxxx Ave., excluding the lobby. The
lobby shall be common area and shall be shared with other tenants in the
building on a non-exclusive basis. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that the
rentable square footage of the Premises as defined in this Second Amendment of
Lease is an approximation which Lessor and Lessee agree is reasonable and is not
subject to revision whether or not the actual square footage is more or less.
2. The lease term shall be extended such that it shall end on September 30,
2002.
3. Commencing on the Effective Date, monthly installments of Rent shall be as
stated on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
4. The option in Paragraph #61 of the Lease Addendum is hereby modified such
that if Lessee does exercise its option, it shall also include the 1st

option period shall be as stated on Exhibit "A".
5. Upon execution of this Lease Amendment, Lessee shall increase its security
deposit to be equal to two (2) times the October 1, 1999 rent on the total
space, which shall be $87,573.00.
6. Lessor, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, shall replace damaged ceiling
tiles and defective lighting fixtures and paint and re-carpet the 2nd Additional
Space. Lessor shall use its best efforts to match the existing paint and carpet,
but Lessee acknowledges that it may not be possible to do so. Additionally,
Lessor shall use its best efforts to complete these improvements as soon after
October 1st as possible. However, rent on said 2nd Additional Space shall
commence on the
2
Effective Date, even though these improvements may be in progress during the
month of October. Lessor shall also give Lessee a credit of $500 towards the
October 1999 rent for Lessee to use to replace any damaged floor tiles that
Lessee should desire to replace. Except as provided herein, Lessee agrees to
accept the 2nd Additional Space in "AS-IS" condition. Lessee shall not be
responsible for any debris/chemicals left behind by previous tenants.
7. Notwithstanding any to the contrary contained herein, Lessee shall have the
right, upon fourteen (14) days prior to written notice to Lessor, to occupy and
commence rent on the 2nd Additional Space at any time prior to October 1, 1999.
If Lessee does exercise this option, then the Effective Date shall be the date
of Lessee's possession. Lessee's right in this paragraph is contingent upon
Lessor receiving necessary termination agreements from the existing tenant,
Progenitor. If Lessee should exercise this right, the rent shall be the same as
the rent for October 1999 and the expiration date of the Lease shall not change.
8. All other terms of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
The parties have signed this Second Amendment of Lease, which for reference
purposes shall be deemed to be dated as of the date first written above.

3.2 DELAY IN POSSESSION. Notwithstanding said Commencement Date, if for any
reason Lessor cannot delivery possession of the Premises to Lessee on said date
and subject to paragraph 3.2.2, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability
therefore, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease or the
obligations of Lessee hereunder or extend the term hereof; but, in such case,
Lessee shall not be obligated to pay rent or perform any other obligation of
Lessee under the terms of this Lease, except as may be otherwise provided in
this Lease, until possession of the Premises is tendered to Lessee, as
hereinafter defined; provided, however, that if Lessor shall not have delivered
possession of the Premises within sixty (60) days following said Commencement
Date, as the same may be extended under the terms of a Work Letter executed by
Lessor and Lessee, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, by notice in writing to
Lessor within ten (10) days thereafter, cancel this Lease, in which event the
parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided, however,
that, as to Lessee's obligations, Lessee first reimburses Lessor for all costs
incurred for Non-Standard Improvements and, as to Lessor's obligations, Lessor
shall return any money previously deposited by Lessee (less any offsets due
Lessor for Non-Standard Improvements); and provided further, that if such
written notice by Lessee is not received by Lessor within said ten (10) day
period, Lessee's right to cancel this Lease hereunder shall terminate and be of
no further force or effect.
3.2.1 POSSESSION TENDERED - DEFINED. Possession of the Premises shall be deemed
tendered to Lessee ("Tender of Possession") when (1) the improvements to be
provided by Lessor under this Lease are substantially completed, (2) the
Building utilities are ready for use in the Premises, (3) Lessee has reasonable

10
3.3 EARLY POSSESSION. If Lessee occupies the Premises prior to said Commencement
Date, such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions of this Lease, such
occupancy shall not change the termination date, and Lessee shall pay rent for
such occupancy.
3.4 UNCERTAIN COMMENCEMENT. In the event commencement of the Lease term is
defined as the completion of the improvements, Lessee and Lessor shall execute
an amendment to this Lease establishing the date of Tender of Possession (as
defined in paragraph 3.2.1) or the actual taking of possession by Lessee,
whichever first occurs, as the Commencement Date.
4. RENT.
4.1 BASE RENT. Subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided in paragraph 4.3,
and except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Lessee shall
pay to Lessor the Base Rent for the Premises set forth in paragraph 1.6 of the
Basic Lease Provisions, without offset or deduction, Lessee shall pay Lessor
upon execution hereof the advance Base Rent described in paragraph 1.8 of the
Basic Lease Provisions. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for
less than one month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of
the calendar month involved. Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United
States to Lessor at the address stated herein or to such other persons or at
such other places as Lessor may designate in writing.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the
security deposit set forth in paragraph 1.9 of the Basic Lease Provisions as
security for Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations hereunder. If
Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults
with respect to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all
or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in
default for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by
reason of Lessee's default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which
Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of
said deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor
deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the
full amount then required of Lessee. If the monthly Base Rent shall, from time
to time, increase during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, at the time of
such increase, deposit with Lessor additional money as a security deposit so
that the total amount of the security deposit held by Lessor shall at all times
bear the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial security
deposit bears to the Initial Base Rent set forth in paragraph 1.6 of the Basic
Lease Provisions. Lessor shall not be required to keep said security deposit
separate from its general accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessee's
obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not heretofore
been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other
increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee,
if any, of Lessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof,
and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created
herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect to said Security Deposit.
6. USE.

6.1 USE. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the purpose set forth
in paragraph 1.4 of the Basic Lease Provisions or any other use which is
reasonably comparable to that use and for one other purpose.
6.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.
(a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in the state existing on the
date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to alterations or
improvements made by Lessee or the use for which Lessee will occupy the
Premises, does not violate any covenants or restrictions of record, or any
applicable building code, regulation or ordinance in effect on such Lease term
Commencement Date. In the event it is determined that this warranty has been
violated, then it shall be the obligation of the Lessor, after written notice
from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, rectify any such
violation.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a) Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense,
promptly comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations,
orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and requirements of any first
insurance underwriters or rating bureaus, now in effect or which may hereafter
come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in policy from that now
existing, during the term or any part of the term hereof, relating in any manner
to the Premises and the occupation and use by Lessee of the Premises. Lessee
shall conduct its business in a lawful manner and shall not use or permit the
use of the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that will tend to create
waste or a nuisance or shall tend to disturb other occupants of the Office
Building Project.

(a) Lessor shall delivery the Premises to Lessee in a clean condition on the
Lease Commencement Date (unless Lessee is already in possession) and Lessor
warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, lighting, air conditioning, and heating
system in the Premises shall be in good operating condition. In the event that
it is determined that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the
obligation of Lessor, after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth
with specificity the nature of the violation, to promptly, at Lessor's sole
cost, rectify such violation.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby accepts the
Premises and the Office Building Project in their condition existing as of the
Lease Commencement Date or the date that Lessee takes possession of the
Premises, whichever is earlier, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal,
county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the
use of the Premises, and any easements, covenants or restrictions of record, and
accepts this Lease subject thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby and by
any exhibits attached hereto. Lessee acknowledges that it has satisfied itself
by its own independent investigation that the Premises are suitable for its
intended use, and that neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent or agents has made any
representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the
Premises, Common Areas, or Office Building Project for the conduct of Lessee's
business.
7. MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS AND COMMON AREA SERVICES.
7.1 LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Lessor shall keep the Office Building Project,
including the Premises, interior and exterior walls, roof, and common areas, and
the equipment whether used
11
12
exclusively for the Premises or in common with other premises, in good condition
and repair, provided, however, Lessor shall not be obligated to paint, repair or
replace wall coverings, or to repair or replace any improvements that are not
ordinarily a part of the Building or are above then Building standards. Except
as provided in paragraph 9.5, there shall be no abatement of rent or liability
of Lessee on account of any injury or interference with Lessee's business with
respect to an improvements, alterations or repairs made by Lessor to the Office
Building Project or any part thereof. Lessee expressly waives the benefits of
any statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Lessee the
right to make repairs at Lessor's expense or to terminate this Lease because of
Lessor's failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair.
7.2 LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS.
(a) Notwithstanding Lessor's obligation to keep the Premises in good condition
and repair, Lessee shall be responsible for payment of the cost thereof to
Lessor as additional rent for that portion of the cost of any maintenance and
repair of the Premises, or any equipment (wherever located) that serves only
Lessee or the Premises, to the extent such cost is attributable to causes beyond
normal wear and tear. Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of painting,
repairing or replacing wall coverings, and to repair or replace any Premises
improvements that are not ordinarily a part of the Building or that are above
then Building standards. Lessor may, at its option, upon reasonable notice,
elect to have Lessee perform any particular such maintenance or repairs the cost
of which is otherwise Lessee's responsibility hereunder.
(b) On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner termination, Lessee
shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same condition as received,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean and free of debris. Any damage or
deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary wear and tear if the
same could have been prevented by good maintenance practices by Lessee. Lessee
shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or
removal of Lessee's trade fixtures, alterations, furnishing and equipment.
Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee shall leave the air lines,
power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, air
conditioning, window coverings, wall coverings, carpets, wall paneling, ceilings
and plumbing on the Premises and in good operation condition.
7.3 ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.
(a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent make any
alterations, improvements, additions, Utility installations or repairs in, on or
about the Premises, or the Office Building Project. As used in this paragraph
7.3 the term "Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting, window and wall
coverings, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, air
conditioning, plumbing, and telephone and telecommunication wiring and
equipment. At the expiration of the term, Lessor may require the removal of any
or all of said alterations, improvements, additions or Utility installations,
and the restoration of the Premises and the Office Building Project to their
prior condition, at Lessee's expense. Should Lessor permit Lessee to make its
own alterations, improvements, additions or Utility installations, Lessee shall
use only such contractor as has been expressly approved by Lessor, and Lessor
may require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien
and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated
cost of such improvements, to insure
12
13
Lessor against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to
insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any alterations, improvements,
additions or Utility installations without the prior approval of Lessor, or use
a contractor not expressly approved by Lessor, Lessor may, at any time during
the term of this Lease, require that Lessee remove any part or all of the same.
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility installations in or
about the Premises or the Office Building Project that Lessee shall desire to
make shall be presented to Lessor in written form, with proposed detailed plans.
If Lessor shall give its consent to Lessee's making such alteration,
improvement, addition or Utility installation, the consent shall be deemed
conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from the applicable
governmental agencies, furnishing a copy thereof to Lessor prior to the
commencement of the work, and compliance by Lessee with all conditions of said
permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.
(c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or
alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for use in the Premises,
which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic's or materialmen's lien
against the Premises, the Building or the Office Building Project, or any
interest therein.
(d) Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the
commencement of any work in the Premises by Lessee, and Lessor shall have the
right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises or the
Building as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the
validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole
expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy any
such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement
thereof against the Lessor or the Premises, the Building or the Office Building
Project, upon the condition that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish
to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such
contested lien claim or demand indemnifying Lessor against liability for the
same and holding the Premises, the Building and the Office Building Project free
from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to
pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in participating in such
action if Lessor shall decide it is to Lessor's best interest so to do.
(e) All alterations, improvements, additions and Utility installations (whether
or not such Utility installations constitute trade fixtures of Lessee), which
may be made to the Premises by Lessee, including but not limited to, floor
coverings, panelings, doors, drapes, built-ins, moldings, sound attenuation, and
lighting and telephone or communication systems, conduit, wiring and outlets,
shall be made and done in a good and workmanlike manner and of good and
sufficient quality and materials and shall be the property of Lessor and remain
upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the Lease term,
unless Lessor requires their removal pursuant to paragraph 7.3(a). Provided
Lessee is not in default, notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph
7.3(e), Lessee's personal property and equipment, other than that which is
affixed to the Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to
the Premises or the Building, and other than Utility installations, shall remain
the property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee subject to the provisions of
paragraph 7.2.
(f) Lessee shall provide Lessor with as-built plans and specifications for any
alterations, improvements, additions or Utility installations.
13
14
7.4 UTILITY ADDITIONS. Lessor reserves the right to install new or additional
utility facilities throughout the Office Building Project for the benefit of
Lessor or Lessee, or any other lessee of the Office Building Project, including,
but not by way of limitation, such utilities as plumbing, electrical systems,
communication systems, and fire protection and detection systems, so long as
such installations do not unreasonably interfere with Lessee's use of the
Premises.
8. INSURANCE; INDEMNITY.
8.1 LIABILITY INSURANCE - LESSEE. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of Comprehensive General
Liability Insurance utilizing an Insurance Services Office standard form with
Broad Form General Liability Endorsement (GL0404), or equivalent, in an amount
of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence of bodily injury and property damage
combined or in a greater amount as reasonably determined by Lessor and shall
insure Lessee with Lessor as an additional insured against liability arising out
of the use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises. Compliance with the above
requirement shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee hereunder.
8.2 LIABILITY INSURANCE - LESSOR. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single Limit Bodily Injury and Broad
Form Property Damage Insurance, plus coverage against such other risks Lessor
deems advisable from time to time, insuring Lessor, but not Lessee, against
liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the
Office Building Project in an amount not less than $5,000,000.00 per occurrence.
8.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE - LESSEE. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease for the benefit of Lessee,
replacement cost fire and extended coverage insurance, with vandalism and
malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and earthquake sprinkler leakage
endorsements, in an amount sufficient to cover not less than 100% of the full
replacement cost, as the same may exist from time to time, of all of Lessee's
personal property, fixtures, equipment and tenant improvements.
8.4 PROPERTY INSURANCE - LESSOR. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease a policy or policies or insurance covering loss or damage
to the Office Building Project Improvements, but not Lessee's personal property,
fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements, in the amount of the full
replacement cost thereof, as the same may exist from time to time, utilizing
Insurance Services Office standard form, or equivalent, providing protection
against all perils included within the classification of fire, extended
coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, plate glass, and such other perils as
Lessor deems advisable or may be required by a lender having a lien on the
Office Building Project. In addition, Lessor shall obtain and keep in force,
during the term of this lease, a policy of rental value insurance covering a
period of one year, with loss payable to Lessor, which insurance shall also
cover all Operating Expenses for said period. Lessee will not be named in any
such policies carried by Lessor and shall have no right to any proceeds
therefrom. The policies required by these paragraphs 8.2 and 8.4 shall contain
such deductibles as Lessor or the aforesaid lender may determine. In the event
that the Premises shall suffer an insured loss as defined n paragraph 9.1(f)
hereof, the deductible amounts under the applicable insurance policies shall be
deemed an Operating Expense. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything
which shall invalidate the insurance policies carried by Lessor.
14
15
Lessee shall pay the entirety of any increase in the property insurance premium
for the Office Building Project over what it was immediately prior to the
commencement of the term of this Lease if the increase is specified by Lessor's
insurance carrier as being caused by the nature of Lessee's occupancy or any act
or omission of Lessee.
8.5 INSURANCE POLICIES. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of liability
insurance policies required under paragraph 8.1 or certificates evidencing the
existence and amounts of such insurance within seven (7) days after the
Commencement Date of this Lease. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject
to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days'
prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals thereof.
8.6 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the
other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the other, for direct or
consequential loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils covered by
property insurance carried by such party, whether due to the negligence of
Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees, contractors and/or invitees. If
necessary all property insurance policies required under this Lease shall be
endorsed to so provide.
8.7 INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and its agents,
Lessor's mater or ground lessor, partners and lenders, from and against any and
all claims for damage to the person or property of anyone or any entity arising
from Lessee's use of the Office Building Project, or from the conduct of
Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things done, permitted or
suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and shall further
indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims, costs
and expenses arising from any breach or default in the performance of any
obligation on Lessee's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or
arising from any act or omission of Lessee, or any of Lessee's agents,
contractors, employees, or invitees, and from and against all costs, attorney's
fees, expenses and liabilities incurred by Lessor as the result of any such use,
conduct, activity, work, things done, permitted or suffered, breach, default or
negligence, and in dealing reasonably therewith, including but not limited to
the defense or pursuit of any claim or any action or proceeding involved
therein; and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by
reason of any such matter, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same
at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor
shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not have first paid any
such claim in order to be so indemnified. Lessee, as a material part of the
consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property of Lessee
or injury to persons, in, upon, or about the Office Building Project arising
from any cause and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against
Lessor.
8.8 EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessee hereby agrees that Lessor shall
not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income therefrom or
for loss of or damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other property of
Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about
the Premises or the Office Building Project, nor shall Lessor be liable for
injury to the person of Lessee, Lessee's employees, agents or contractors,
whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from theft, first, steam,
electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or
other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air
conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said damage
or
15
16
injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions
of the Office Building Project, or from other sources or places, or from new
construction or the repair, alteration or improvement of any part of the Office
Building Project, or of the equipment, fixtures or appurtenances applicable
thereto, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the
means of repairing the same is inaccessible, Lessor shall not be liable for any
damages arising from any act or neglect of any other lessee, occupant or user of
the Office Building Project, nor from the failure of Lessor to enforce the
provisions of any other lease of any other lessee of the Office Building
Project.
8.9 NO REPRESENTATION OF ADEQUATE COVERAGE. Lessor makes no representation that
the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified in this paragraph 8 are
adequate to cover Lessee's property or obligations under this Lease.

of the Office Building Project Buildings.

an Insured Loss has a deductible amount shall not make the loss an uninsured
loss.
(g) "Replacement Cost" shall mean the amount of money necessary to be spent in
order to repair or rebuild the damaged area to the condition that existed
immediately prior to the damage occurring, excluding all improvements made by
lessees, other than those installed by Lessor at Lessee's expense.

(a) Insured Loss: Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 9.4 and 9.5, if at any
time during the term of this Lease there is damage which is an Insured Loss and
which falls into the classification of either Premises Damage or Premises
Building Partial Damage, then Lessor shall,
16
17
as soon as reasonably possible and to the extent the required materials and
labor are readily available through usual commercial channels, at Lessor's
expense repair such damage (but not Lessee's fixtures, equipment or tenant
improvements originally paid for by Lessee) to its condition existing at the
time of the damage, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
(b) Uninsured Loss: Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 9.4 and 9.5, if at
any time during the term of this Lease there is damage which is not an Insured
Loss and which falls within the classification of Premises Damage or Premises
Building Partial Damage, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of Lessee
(in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense), which damage
prevents Lessee from making any substantial use of the Premises. Lessor may at
Lessor's option either (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at
Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, or (ii) give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the
date of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's intention to cancel and
terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage, in which
event this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the occurrence of such
damage.
9.3 PREMISES BUILDING TOTAL DESTRUCTION; OFFICE BUILDING PROJECT TOTAL
DESTRUCTION. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 9.4 and 9.5, if at any time
during the term of this Lease there is damage, whether or not it is an Insured

tenant improvements, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or

occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's
election to do so within 30 days after the date of occurrence of such damage.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph 9.4(a), in the event that Lessee has an option to
extend or renew this Lease, and the time within which said option may be
exercised has not yet expired, Lessee shall exercise such option, if it is to be
exercised at all, no later than twenty (20) days after the occurrence of an
Insured Loss failing within the classification of Premises Damage during the
last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease. If Lessee duly exercises such
option during said twenty (20) day period, Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense,
repair such damage, but not Lessee's fixture, equipment or tenant improvements,
as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such option during said twenty (20) day
period, then Lessor may at Lessor's option terminate and cancel this Lease as of
the expiration of said twenty (20) day period by giving written notice to Lessee
of Lessor's
17
18
election to do so within ten (10) days after the expiration of said twenty (20)

(a) In the event Lessor repairs or restores the Building or Premises pursuant to
the provisions of this paragraph 9, and any part of the Premises are not usable
(including loss of use due to loss of access or essential services), the rent
payable hereunder (including Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase) for
the period during which such damage, repair or restoration continues shall be
abated, provided (1) the damage was not the result of the negligence of Lessee,
and (2) such abatement shall only be to the extent the operation and
profitability of Lessee's business as operated from the Premises is adversely
affected. Except for said abatement of rent, if any, Lessee shall have no claim
against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage,
destruction, repair or restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises or the
Building under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence such
repair or restoration within ninety (90) days after such occurrence, of if
Lessor shall not complete the restoration and repair within six (6) months after
such occurrence, Lessee may at Lessee's option cancel and terminate this Lease
by giving Lessor written notice of Lessee's election to do so at any time prior
to the commencement or completion, respectively, of such repair or restoration.
In such event this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice.
(c) Lease agrees to cooperate with Lessor in connection with any such
restoration and repair, including but not limited to the approval and/or
execution of plans and specifications required.
9.6 TERMINATION - ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to
this paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning advance rent
and any advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition,
return to Lessee so much of Lessee's security deposit as has not theretofore
been applied by Lessor.
9.7 WAIVER. Lessor and Lessee waive the provisions of any statute which relate
to termination of leases when leased property is destroyed and agree that such

paragraph 10.3, applicable to the Office Building Project subject to
reimbursement by Lessee of Lessee's Share of such taxes in accordance with the

10.2 ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. Lessee shall not be responsible for payment any
increase in real property tax specified in the tax assessor's records and work
sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Office
Building Project by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of
any other lessee. Lessee shall, however, pay to Lessor at the time that
Operating Expenses are payable under paragraph 4.2(c) the entirety of any
increase in real
18
19
property tax if assessed solely by reason of additional improvements placed upon
the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.
10.3 DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAX". As used herein, the term "real property
tax" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general, special,
ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial rental tax,
improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income
or estate taxes) imposed on the Office Building Project or any portion thereof
by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city,
county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary,
fire, street, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as against any
legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Office Building Project of in any
portion thereof, as against Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom,
and as against Lessor's business of leasing the Office Building Project. The
term "real property tax" shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or
charge (i) in substitution of, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy,
assessment or charge hereinabove included within the definition of "real
property tax," or (ii) the nature of which was hereinbefore included within the
definition of "real property tax," or (iii) which is imposed for a service or
right not charged prior to June 1, 1978, or, if previously charged, has been
increased since June 1, 1978, or (iv) which is imposed as a result of a change
in ownership, as defined by applicable local statutes for property tax purposes,
of the Office Building Project or which is added to a tax or charge hereinbefore
included within the definition of real property tax by reason of such change of
ownership, or (v) which is imposed by reason of this transaction, any
modifications or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof.
10.4 JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the improvements or property, the taxes for which are
to be paid separately by Lessee under paragraph 10.2 or 10.5 are not separately
assessed, Lessee's portion of that tax shall be equitably determined by Lessor
from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such
other information (which may include the cost of construction) as may be
reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in good faith,
shall be conclusive.
10.5 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.
(a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied
upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of
Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere.

20
11.2 SERVICES EXCLUSIVE TO LESSEE. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat,
light, power, telephone and other utilities and services specially or
exclusively supplied and/or metered exclusively to the Premises or to Lessee,
together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered
to the Premises, Lessee shall pay at Lessor's option, either Lessee's Share or a
reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of all charges jointly metered
with other premises in the Building.
11.3 HOURS OF SERVICE. Said services and utilities shall be provided during
generally accepted business days and hours or such other days or hours as may
hereafter be set forth. Utilities and services required at other times shall be
subject to advance request and reimbursement by Lessee to Lessor of the cost
thereof.
11.4 EXCESS USAGE BY LESSEE. Lessee shall not make connection to the utilities
except by or through existing outlets and shall not install or use machinery or
equipment in or about the Premises that uses excess water, lighting or power, or
suffer or permit any act that causes extra burden upon the utilities or
services, including but not limited to security services, over standard office
usage for the Office Building Project. Lessor shall require Lessee to reimburse
Lessor for any excess expenses or costs that may arise out of a breach of this
subparagraph by Lessee. Lessor may, in its sole discretion, install at Lessee's
expense supplemental equipment and/or separate metering applicable to Lessee's
excess usage or loading.
11.5 INTERRUPTIONS. There shall be no abatement of rent or Lessor shall not be
liable in any respect whatsoever for the inadequacy, stoppage, interruption or

breakdown, accident, repair or other cause beyond Lessor's reasonable control or
in cooperation with governmental request or directions.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1 LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of
law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all or
any part of Lessee's interest in the Lease or in the Premises, without Lessor's
prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold. Lessor
shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a timely manner and
any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without
such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a material default and breach
of this Lease, without the need for notice to Lessee under paragraph 13.1
"Transfer" within the meaning of this paragraph 12 shall include the transfer or
transfers aggregating (a) if Lessee is a corporation, more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the voting stock of such corporation, or (b) if Lessee is a
partnership, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the profit and loss
participation in such partnership.
12.2 LESSEE AFFILIATE. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 12 hereof,
Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof, without
Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or is
under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, all of which are referred to as "Lessee Affiliate";
provided that before such assignment shall be effective, (a) said assignee shall
assume, in full, the obligations of Lessee
20
21
under this Lease and (b) lessor shall be given written notice of such assignment
and assumption. Any such assignment shall not, in any way, affect or limit the
liability of Lessee under the terms of this Lease even if after such assignment
or subletting the terms of this Lease are materially changed or altered without
the consent of Lessee, the consent of whom shall not be necessary.
12.3 TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, no assignment or subletting shall release
Lessee of Lessee's obligations hereunder or alter the primary liability of
Lessee to pay the rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder including Lessee's
Share of Operating Expense Increase and to perform all other obligations to be
performed by Lessee hereunder.
(b) Lessor may accept rent from any person other than Lessee pending approval or
disapproval of such assignment.
(c) Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment or
subletting, nor the acceptance of rent, shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of
Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of the terms or
conditions of this paragraph 12 of this Lease.
(d) If Lessee's obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed by third
parties, then an assignment or sublease, and Lessor's consent thereto, shall not
be effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such sublease
and the terms thereof.
(e) The consent by Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a
consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or to any
subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the sublessee. However,
Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the sublease or
any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else
liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent and such
action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease or said
sublease; however, such persons shall not be responsible to the extent any such
amendment or modification enlarges or increases the obligations of the Lessee or
sublessee under this Lease or such sublease.
(f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly
against Lessee, any guarantors or any one else responsible for the performance
of this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's
remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Lessor, or
any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
(g) Lessor's written consent to any assignment or subletting of the Premises by
Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgement that no default then exists under
this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Lessee nor shall such consent
be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be otherwise
stated by Lessor at the time.
(h) The discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied upon by Lessor
in giving its consent to an assignment or subletting was materially false shall,
at Lessor's election, render Lessor's said consent null and void.
21
22
12.4 ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING. Regardless of
Lessor's consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply to any
subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed
included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated
therein:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's interest in
all rental and income arising from any sublease heretofore or hereafter made by
Lessee, and Lessor may collect such rent and income and apply same toward
Lessee's obligations under this Lease, provided, however, that until a default
shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, Lessee
may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such sublease. Lessor
shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such sublease to Lessor
nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable
to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of
Lessee's obligations to such sublessee under such sublease. Lessee hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written
notice from Lessor stating that a default exists in the performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents due and to become due
under the sublease. Lessee agrees that such sublessee shall have the right to
rely upon any such statement and request from Lessor, and that such sublessee
shall pay such rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to
whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from
Lessee to the contrary. Lessee shall have no right or claim against said
sublessee or Lessor for any such rents so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.
(b) No sublease entered into by Lessee shall be effective unless and until it
has been approved in writing by Lessor in entering into any sublease. Lessee
shall use only such form of sublessee as is satisfactory to Lessor, and once
approved by Lessor, such sublease shall not be changed or modified without
Lessor's prior written consent. Any sublease shall, by reason of entering into a
sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of Lessor, to have assumed
and agreed to conform and comply with each and every obligation herein to be
performed by Lessee other than such obligations as are contrary to or
inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which Lessor has
expressly consented in writing.
(c) In the event Lessee shall default in the performance of its obligations
under this Lease, Lessor at its option and without any obligation to do so, may
require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall undertake
the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from the time of the exercise of
said option to the termination of such sublease; provided, however, Lessor shall
not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such sublessee
to Lessee or for any other prior defaults of Lessee under such sublease.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises
without Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) With respect to any subletting to which Lessor has consented, Lessor agrees
to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Lessee to the sublessee. Such
sublessee shall have the right to cure a default of Lessee within three (3) days
after service of said notice of default upon such sublessee, and the sublessee
shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any
such defaults cured by the sublessee.
22
23
12.5 LESSOR'S EXPENSES. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the Premises
or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if Lessee
shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do then
Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith, including attorneys', architects', engineers' or other consultants'
fees.
12.6 CONDITIONS TO CONSENT. Lessor reserves the right to condition any approval
to assign or sublet upon Lessor's determination that (a) the proposed assignee
or sublessee shall conduct a business on the Premises of a quality substantially
equal to that of Lessee and consistent with the general character of the other
occupants of the Office Building Project and not in violation of any exclusives
or rights then held by other tenants, and (b) the proposed assignee or sublessee
be at least as financially responsible as Lessee was expected to be at the time
of the execution of this Lease or of such assignment or subletting, whichever is
greater.
13. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
13.1 DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute a material default of this Lease by Lessee.
(a) The vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee. Vacation of the
Premises shall include the failure to occupy the Premises for a continuous
period of sixty (60) days or more, whether or not the rent is paid.
(b) The breach by Lessee of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of
paragraphs 7.3(a), (b) or (d) (alterations), 12.1 (assignment or subletting),
13.1(a) vacation or abandonment), 13.1(e) (insolvency), 13.1(f) (false
statement), 16(a) (estoppel certificate), 30(b) (subordination), 33 (auctions),
or 41.1 (easements), all of which are hereby deemed to be material, non-curable
defaults without the necessity of any notice by Lessor to Lessee thereof.
(c) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other payment
required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where such failure
shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from
Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a Notice to Pay
Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes such Notice to
Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by this subparagraph.
(d) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions
or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee other than
those referenced in subparagraphs (b) and(c), above, where such failure shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from
Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's
noncompliance is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required
for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default of Lessee
commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
pursues such cure to completion. To the extent permitted by law, such thirty
(30) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required to be
given to Lessee under applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes.
(e) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or general assignment
for the benefit of creditors, (ii) Lessee becoming a "debtor" as defined in 11
USC Section 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a
petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty
23
24
(60) days, (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to lessee within thirty
(30) days, or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30)
days in the event that any provision of this paragraph 13.1(e) is, contrary to
any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.
(f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to Lessor by
lessee, or its successor in interest or by any guarantor of Lessee's obligation
hereunder, was materially false.
13.2 REMEDIES. In the vent of any material default or breach of this Lease by
Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and
without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may
have by reason of such default.
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means,
in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor
shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor by
reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting including necessary renovation
and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and any real estate
commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by the court having
jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of
the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for
the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; that portion of
the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15 applicable to the
unexpired term of this Lease.
(b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this Lease shall
continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or abandoned the
Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as
it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under the laws
or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. Unpaid
installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations of Lessee under the
terms of this Lease shall bear interest form the date due at the maximum rate
then allowable by law.
13.3 DEFAULT BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor fails to
perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no event
later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the
holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name
and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in writing,
specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation, provided,
however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty
(30) days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in default if
lessor commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently
pursues the same to completion.
24
25
13.4 LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to
Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase or other sums
due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease,
the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs
include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late
charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust
deed covering the Office Building Project. Accordingly, if any installment of
Base Rent, Operating Expense Increase, or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee.
Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver
of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Office Building
Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of
the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called "condemnation") this
Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning
authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs, provided that if so
much of the Premises or the Office Building Project are taken by such
condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the operation and
profitability of Lessee's business conducted from the Premises, Lessee shall
have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30) days after
lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence
of such notice, within thirty (30) days after the condemning authority shall
have taken possession), to terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent and Lessee's
Share of Operating Expense Increase shall be reduced in the proportion that the
floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total floor area of Premises
Common Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common Areas usable by Lessee and
no reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto or by reason thereof.
Lessor shall have the option in its sole discretion to terminate this Lease as
of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, by giving written
notice to Lessee of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of
notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises or the Office
Building Project. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises or
the Office Building Project under the power of eminent domain or any payment
made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor,
whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the
leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages, provided,
however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any separate award for loss of or
damage to Lessee's trade fixtures, removable personal property and unamortized
tenant improvements that have been paid for by Lessee. For that purpose the cost
of such Improvements shall be amortized over the original term of this Lease
excluding any options in the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason
of such condemnation. Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received
by Lessor in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been
reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in
excess of such severance damages required to complete such repair.

transfer is by agreement or by operation of law, shall be deemed to have assumed
Lessor's obligation under this paragraph 15. Each listing and cooperating broker
shall be a third party beneficiary of the provisions of this paragraph 15 to the
extent of their interest in any commission arising under this Lease and may
enforce that right directly against Lessor, provided, however, that all brokers
having a right to any part of such total commission shall be a necessary party
to any suit with respect thereto.
(d) Lessee and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that neither has
had any dealings with any person, firm, broker or finder (other that the

to respond, without any further notice to such party, or it shall be conclusive
upon such party that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect without
modification except as may be represented by the requesting party, (ii) there
are no uncured defaults in the requesting party's performance and (iii) if
Lessor is the requesting party, not more than one month's rent has been paid in

respective periods of ownership.

other provision hereof.
19. INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Except as expressly herein provided, any
amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum rate
then allowable by law or judgments from the date due. Payment of such interest
shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease; provided,
however, that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee
nor on any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.
20. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations to

or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted
to such parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter
designate by notice to Lessee.
24. WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of
the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to
or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by

behalf of Lessee as Lessee's attorney-in-fact. Lessee does hereby make,
constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact and in

Lessor makes no representations or warranties respecting the existence of
Hazardous Materials in the Premises. However, Lessor hereby releases Lessee from
any liability in connection with any Hazardous Materials in the Premises that
are not caused by Lessee. Additionally, in the event that any third party
regulatory agency or governmental agency requires any work done to or about the

INSERT 6.2(b): COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, throughout the
term hereof, Lessee shall not be responsible for compliance with any laws,
codes, or ordinances where such compliance (i) is not related specifically to
Lessee's use and occupancy of the Premises. For example, if any governmental
authority should require buildings to be structurally strengthened against
earthquake, such compliance shall be performed by and at the sole cost of
Lessor, or (ii) is not triggered by any alterations or improvements done by, or
at the direction of, Lessee to the Premises.
INSERT 7.1: LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 7.1, if Lessor fails to perform its
maintenance and repair obligations (with respect to the roof or the plumbing,
electricity or HVAC systems) in compliance with its obligations under Paragraph
13.3 and, as a consequence, Lessee's use of the Premises is substantially
impaired, Lessee will provide Lessor with written notice that a repair is
needed. If within 30 days following the notice the repair has not been
commenced, Lessee shall have the right to solicit three competitive bids for the
repair and shall deliver copies of such bids to Lessor. Lessor shall have seven
calendar days within which to either commence such work, or to approve of one of
the submitted bids. If Lessor fails to either commence such work or
45
46
approve a bid within the seven calendar day period, then Lessee shall be
entitled to choose any one of the three bids and cause such repair or
maintenance to be performed at Lessor's expense and Lessor agrees to reimburse
Lessee, upon demand, for the costs thereof.
INSERT 8.7: INDEMNITY.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessee shall not be
required to indemnify, defend, or hold Lessor harmless from or against any
claims, liability, loss, cost, or expense arising out of (i) the breach by
Lessor, or Lessor's agents, employees, licensees, invitees, or independent
contractors (collectively Lessor's Agents), of any covenant, representation or
warranty under this Lease, or (ii) any negligence or willful misconduct of
Lessor or Lessor's Agents.
INSERT 12.2: LESSEE AFFILIATE.
Additionally, "Lessee Affiliate" shall include any entity which acquires
substantially all of the assets of Tenant, as a going concern, with respect to

Tenant from the person(s) having effective voting control as of the date of
Tenant's execution of this Lease.
INSERT 32: LESSOR'S ACCESS.

any entry by Lessor onto the Premises, Lessor shall use its best efforts not to
interfere with the conduct of Lessee's business.
INSERT 50: RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
Subject to the currently existing rights of any other tenant(s) in the building,
in the event that the balance of the first floor of the Building becomes
available for lease (the "Available Space"), Lessor shall give Lessee written
notice of such availability, identifying the same and specifying the basic terms
and conditions on which Lessor proposes to lease the Available Space (the
"Availability Notice"). Lessee shall have five (5) business days after its
receipt of the Availability Notice in which Lessee may either give Lessor
written notice of Lessee's acceptance of the Available Space on the terms and
conditions specified in the Availability Notice (the "Acceptance Notice") or
written notice of a counteroffer by Lessee for the lease of the Available Space
(the "Counter Notice").
Prior to giving the Availability Notice to Lessee and for five (5) business days
thereafter, Lessor shall not enter into any agreement for the Available Space
with any other person. If during such five (5) business day period Lessee gives
Lessor an Acceptance Notice, Lessor and Lessee shall then promptly enter into a
lease for the Available Space on the terms and conditions specified in the
Availability Notice (and otherwise on the terms and conditions contained in this
Lease). If during such five (5) business day period Lessee gives Lessor a
Counteroffer Notice, Lessor shall
46
47
then give Lessee written notice either accepting such counteroffer (in which
event, Lessor and Lessee shall promptly enter into a lease for the Available
Space of the terms and conditions specified in the Counteroffer Notice and
otherwise on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease) or rejecting such
counteroffer.
After the expiration of such five (5) business day period, if Lessee has not
given Lessor a timely Acceptance Notice or a timely Counteroffer Notice, then
Lessor shall be free to enter into a lease for the use of the Available Space to
any other person or entity on any terms and conditions. After the expiration of
such five (5) business day period, if Lessee has given Lessor a timely
Counteroffer Notice which Lessor has rejected, Lessor shall be free to enter
into a lease for the use of the Available Space to any other person or entity on
any terms and conditions; provided, however, that Lessor shall not enter into a
lease for the use of the Available Space with any other person or entity on
basic terms materially less favorable to Lessor (i.e. greater than a 10%
discount) than those set forth in the Counteroffer Notice (or, if more than one
Counteroffer Notice was timely given, then in the last such Counteroffer Notice)
without giving Lessee at least five (5) business days prior written notice of
